So we have several people coming for a party which dh insists I still throw so the kids aren't disappointed. It's very informal just me two friends and all our kids.
Dh had a few small cysts in this area which antibiotics sorted but he started feeling rough a couple of days before Xmas and this lump started growing and is not about the size of a tennis ball. They gave him fluoxicillian at a and e yesterday and said come back on 31st if no change and we will drain but it has to be under ga. It has got bigger so I will be taking him back. Bit worried about recovery time and the packing that I assume will be needed. He is supposed to go back to work on Friday which is unlikely but how long is recovery from drainage if it is so big? He rides a motorbike and i have the car so god knows how we will navigate that. I am also very squeamish so keeping that wound clean etc might cause me to pass out. Sorry I sound very selfish I will of course take care of him just wondering if anyone knows about recovery as I need to work out contingencies!
